2 Employability Week: Programme of Events INTRODUCTION Here at The University of Kent, we are committed to preparing you as best we can for the world of graduate employment. Co-ordinated by the Careers and Employability Service, both the Academic Schools and the professional services are coming together to offer you an exciting week of events. Get some valuable advice for personal development on topics such as CV writing, interview tips, work experience, learning what employers want from graduates, balancing part-time work and study and much more. You will receive Employability Points for attending talks and workshops see below for more information. We also have three large fairs; the Careers Fair (Tuesday) where you can meet and speak to graduate employers looking for students just like you, Teaching Expo (Wednesday) where you can find out more about the routes into teaching, and the Kent Opportunities Fair (Thursday) showcasing many of the extra-curricular activities you can get involved with on campus. Use this programme to keep track of what’s happening to help you decide what you want to get involved with, and don’t forget to join the conversation using #KentEW2014 YABILITY PO LO EMPLOYABILITY POINTS EM P The Employability Points scheme rewards students for active engagement in extracurricular activities.
